Try telling Megan Marx and Tiffany Scanlon that one cannot find love on The Bachelor. Granted, we’ve seen an endless number of couples fail to make it down the aisle after the man asked for the woman’s hand in marriage to conclude the latest season of this franchise. But perhaps that was the problem all along: Perhaps The Bachelor was not intended to match up a man and a woman, but rather a woman and a woman . Marx and Scanlon met while filming the 2016 version of Australia’s The Bachelor. They were both aiming to win over star Richie Strahan in the end. As time went on, however, Megan and Tiffany found grew more attracted to one another, as they continued to post photos on Instagram together long after filming ended. These photos would include captions that mentioned the other as “my favourite person,” and/or said “there are many things that I love but this is one.” Was it possible that two women who signed on to find a husband ended up finding true love in a member of the same sex? Yes! On Monday, Marx shared a new photo on Instagram that seemed to confirm the pair’s romantic relationship. “I met Tiffany in a very strange situation. Well…we were kind of dating the same guy…” the caption to it began. We’ll just go ahead and let her take it from there: And it was filmed and put on TV. From that first cocktail party, it was like this instant calibration between souls, as if we had known each other once before. Friendship ripened into something bolder, trust in a very strange situation was formed, and now every adventure we have rivals the other- and continues to make plans for itself. Yesterday I flew this beautiful woman to The Abrolhos islands for her 30th birthday! I have to admit that I felt so so proud to be with her, my favourite person, celebrating such a momentous occasion on the water- a mutual love of ours. She is so confident in the ocean and in every adventure, as if every new experience is a winning of the lottery somehow; a chance to grow and learn and develop. To Tiffany, experience wins over the worldly acquisition of ‘things’ every time- and I think this is why she is so open-minded, so accepting of others, so fun and so at ease with letting winds blow her towards a variety of opportunities. She’s helped me to disintegrate many of the ideals I’ve had that were harmful (about relationships, about career and ‘stability’) and for that I feel set free. Thank you for always asking questions (detective Tiff), for being curious about people, ideologies and the universe; for loving people with such a wholesome love that I don’t know if I would ever be able to emulate. It inspires me. Happy Birthday Tiffany. I love you. We don’t exactly have any more questions about whether or not these two are together, do you? We watch The Bachelor online and/or on television often and we feel comfortable saying this may be the greatest love story ever told on the program. Can you imagine if two women who met on the show fell in love in America?!? What would Chris Harrison say? It would break the Internet as we know it.
